Chapter 150 Golden Flower 3

"What's going on in this Dragon Hall? The emperor ordered everyone to retreat and discuss it tomorrow!" The eunuch waved the dust in his hand and said with a shrill voice.

I said before Xue Wanche's words, "I want to see the emperor!"

He looked at the closed door of the Dragon Hall and flattered, "The Empress Defei, the emperor has rested. Do you think... is it wrong at this time?

I can't be persuaded back so easily, otherwise the play will be too unreal. Since I came alone and waited here for a while, do you think I am still afraid of the emperor's punishment? I eased my tone and asked, "This matter is not a small matter. Please be sure to inform me of this palace."

The eunuch frowned, looked at these people in front of the Shenlong Hall with embarrassment, and looked at me again, and even paid attention to it a few times. At this time, Qin Shubao stood and said to the eunuch, "Since the Empress De has something important to do, her father-in-law should still inform her. It's not safe in the palace tonight, and the Empress refuses to go back to the palace. If anything goes wrong, you and I can't afford it.

The eunuch listened and suddenly felt reasonable. Please wait a moment. I smiled and nod to Qin Shubao. Qin Shubao nods gently and returned to the team and ordered the bodyguards to leave first. Cheng Yaojin and Xue Wanjun also retreated from the bodyguards, and Xue Wanche waited until he saw me follow the eunuch to the gate of the Shenlong Hall before withdrawing his troops.

I never thought that Li Shimin promised to see me. Before, I was furious when he refused, but this time I really wanted to see him. A group of palace people stood under the eaves of the Dragon Hall, which was a team dedicated to send the concubines of the Dragon Hall back to the bedroom. I rolled up the embroidered handkerchief between my fingers and lowered my eyes without looking down at the closed door, but I kept thinking about what kind of scene I would see when I went in later. The gate opened, and the eunuch stepped into the hall with a low waist and said a few words to Li Shimin, and then came back to invite me to enter the hall.

I swallowed what I thought and stepped into the hall. Li Shimin stood in front of the window with his back, picking only a single robe and hair. My heart ached like a needle, and my footsteps were so heavy that I couldn't take a step, so I had to bless myself far away: "Blessed Majesty!"

Li Shimin answered, turned around and folded several books turned on the table next to him, and asked the eunuch to take them to the palace people outside the door and send them to the bamboo pavilion. At this time, the picker was still combing her long hair, and she didn't care that someone was waiting for her to leave, and she didn't want to give me a chance.

From the beginning of entering the hall, I smelled a faint fragrance of flowers, and the more I smelled it, the more impressive I felt. I looked around the hall and finally looked at the red brocade bag sitting on the table. When I opened it, the fragrance was clearer. It turned out to be the smell of golden flowers! At this time, I don't know when I stood behind me and grabbed the red brocade incense bag, and glanced at me unhappily and pinned it to my waist. Looking at what she meant, she didn't seem to know what was in the sachet, as if she simply put it as spices, so I asked, "I don't know where this sachet came from?"

She picked up the robe behind me and put it on her body and said contemptuously, "Each palace always sends some messy gifts. I don't know which palace gave it to me, which made my mother laugh." She no longer thought about the time with me. Lian stepped to bow down in front of Li Shimin and said coquettishly, "My concubine has retreated. Tonight, the emperor will find a way to make up for my concubine."

Li Shimin put a cloak on her and said gently, "I know, you go down!"

Pickingqian softly nodded with a smile and walked out of the hall with the palace people who came to pick him up. The gate of the Dragon Hall was immediately closed. Li Shimin turned around to visit me. My heart sank, bowed my head and knelt down and said, "My concubine disturbed the emperor late at night. I deserved to die."

"Don't say anything about these. Come on, what's going on?" Li Shimin picked me up, shook my hand, and then turned to close the window. Just now, when I stayed in the night wind, the Dragon Hall was cool again, and my body couldn't help but feel a little cold.

I looked at his back and paused and said slowly, "You'er is sick. She hasn't recovered for a few days. She has been asleep for a long time, concubine..."

I broke the following words and moved Li You out, but I didn't know what to say. Do you want him to visit Li You, or tell him that he is poisoned? Li Shimin closed the window and heard that I was speechless. He turned around and asked, "Didn't you say before that it was just a slight poisoning caused by pollen allergy?" I lowered my eyes and said no. I secretly bit my lips and wondered if I should tell the truth, but Li Shimin saw a clue from my expression. He raised his eyebrows and asked me, "What do you mean by someone poisoned?" I raised my eyes and looked into his unclear eyes. I opened my mouth but didn't know where to start. Li Shimin sighed and asked again, "So what did you find when you visited the palace at night?"

I meditated a little and didn't expect Li Shimin to say it. If I deny it again, it would be too false. However, I don't want to talk about the doubts about picking qian. He is spoiling her now, and I don't want to make him angry about it. So, I shook my head and said, "I didn't find anything."

Li Shimin suddenly smiled and said, "Don't twist like this. Didn't you find me? Is there anything you can find in this Dragon Hall? Isn't that sachet just now?" I was stunned again, biting my lip and didn't say anything. He leaned on the chair casually, and the smile at the corners of his mouth was not happy. His eyes were always staring at me, spreading exploratory eyes. Seeing that I didn't answer, he continued, "I noticed that you looked at the sachet and frowned, which means that you were thinking or doubting something, and that's what you did."

I sighed to myself and smiled, so I had to admit, "Nothing can escape the emperor's eyes. What the emperor said is right."

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction: "Let's talk about it and let me make a decision for you."

So, I told him about Li You's poisoning and the night visit to the pharmacy. Li Shimin sat in the chair without saying a word, tightening his lips and eyebrows, as if he was thinking about something. I regret that I can't stand stubbornness in the face of him. Looking at his reaction at this time, I don't seem to say it's better. The palace was silent and panicked. I called him softly, and he turned his eyes to me in awe, which was extremely cold.

Li Shimin looked at me for a long time, his voice was dull, and finally said, "Wei Zhaorong can't be eliminated."

My heart suddenly had a sharp pain, took a deep breath and said word by word, "Why? Since he arrived in Chang'an, Wei Zhaorong has done a lot of mistakes, and this matter should be severely punished.

"Once again, Wei Zhaorong can't get rid of it!" His voice was as cold as iron, and every sentence was hammered in my heart, "I can protect you and bless your son, but Wei Zhaorong can't get rid of it!" If there is any threat to you in the future, please report it to me and I will deal with it. I don't want to see you do anything in private anymore. Also, take care of your brother."

I was silent for a moment and nodded: "I know."

He stood up, lifted the pearl curtain outside the hall and ordered the eunuch outside the door, "Go to Deqing Palace to get clothes for Defei."

I was a little surprised that I didn't think he would say this and stared at him. He looked at me through the bead curtain and didn't come in again. He just said, "It's so late, you don't have to go back tonight." I have just slept, and I remember that I still have something to deal with.

He sat on the soft collapse in front of the hall and unfolded the fold in front of him. Inexplicably lost, I lowered my head and put down the bead curtain, looked at the yellow dragon couch, thinking about the people outside who were going to be folded overnight, and the charming shadows left in the hall. My chest seemed to be pressed with a black cloud, and there was an uncomfortable sense of oppression. After all, I couldn't let go of the matter. I put the lamp in my palm and protected it to the front of the palace. Li Shimin was still buried in criticism. The lonely lamp fainted his quiet outline. I went forward and put the lamp in my hand on the other side. Accompanied by another lamp, they light up in response to each other, and the desk is no longer as dark as before.

Li Shimin looked at me with the light, stroked my hand and smiled. With his smile, all the haze in my heart suddenly dissipated, holding his arm and leaning gently. Feeling that he lowered his head and gave me a kiss on my hair, I couldn't uselessly shed two lines of tears, held my breath and sobbed, and silently wiped away my tears without letting him find out. This moment seems to have waited for too long. How long has it been since I stayed so quietly with him, listening to each other's breathing, feeling each other's heartbeat, and guessing what each other was thinking. Only then did I realize that the word "day is like a year" can be as long as a few days.

Li Shimin wrote a letter and approved a memorial, but he was suddenly distracted with the other book. For a moment, he put down the fold and turned around to hold my shoulder, his eyes locked my eyes, and he was extremely serious. Well, don't think too much. I can't decide many things as freely as before. He said a little helpless and urgent. Did he come here in the same way when he left me? I don't know.

"You are the king of a country, and you can't just think about it as a private matter." I said slowly. When I finished speaking, I admitted that I had violated my will. I really hope that he would not be wronged in private affairs because of state affairs, but as a king, he couldn't do it.

"It's best if you can think so." He sank his tone and swallowed the rest of the words. I don't force myself to talk about it. At this time, every time this man hurts me and protects me, this kind of life undoubtedly adds another shackle in the prison.

In my gentle arms, I lost myself, and the original strength suddenly collapsed. After all, I can't harden my heart, and I'm going to lose him after all. But did Wenizi really forget about holding Yang Jinhua? Zhou Cairen's death and Li You's poisoning have happened more or less in the future. Now there is another picker to fight against me. Men's war revolves around power, and women's war revolves around men. Compared with men's war, the war between women is more frightening. The fight between talking and laughing is especially unpreventable.

I accompanied Li Shimin to approve several more memorials. I was afraid that he would be in poor spirits the next day, so I advised him to go back to bed to sleep. We lay together. I slept very lightly this night, and I also felt that his breathing was clear and he didn't sleep deeply. It turned out that he, like me, hid things that were not suitable to be said.
